I read a lot about forex education and most of it is wrong; it’s a fact that 95% of traders lose, because they learn forex trading in the wrong way. Forex Trading success is easy but most traders simply have no idea how to acquire the right forex education and that’s what this article is all about.
Learn these two golden rules and you can have a successful forex trading strategy and they are:
1. You are Responsible for Your Success
The problem for most forex traders is they think they can buy success from a vendor for a few hundred dollars. These gurus and mentors make millions from gullible and naive traders.
Most of the currency trading systems sold on the net are junk and simply promoted by clever marketing and the best example is perhapsforex day trading. Great story but it doesn’t work.
The only person who can make you successful is you.
This means devising your own forex trading strategy for success.
If you devise your own strategy (its not as hard as many people think and is covered in our other articles) you will have a total understanding of your system and why it will work. This will give you two key character traits for success:
Confidence in your system and the discipline to follow it through inevitable losing periods.
2. Work smart and learn the RIGHT knowledge
There are those traders who are naive and gullible and believe someone else can give them success for a few hundred dollars, on the other hand there are others who believe that to make money you need to work hard – their logic is the more you put in, the more you will get out but this is simply not true.
There are plenty of smart people working hard trading forex and a lot of them lose.
Why?
Because in the world of forex trading you only get a reward for being RIGHT and the market gives you nothing for effort.
So what does working smart entail?
Firstly, if you are new to forex trading develop a simple technical system with just a few indicators.
Simple systems work far better than complicated ones, as there are less elements to break in the brutal world of currency trading. Then, you need to focus on the long term trends and use a breakout methodology - it’s easy to understand, easy to apply and it's very profitable.
All the information you need is available free on the net.
If you seek out this forex education, you will be able to get a system that is robust and works and get a forex trading strategy together in less than 2 weeks.
If you are a long term trend follower you will only be executing forex trading signals a few times a month and your forex analysis will take under half an hour a day.
Is It Really That Simple?
Yes it is.
Currency trading success is built on a simple robust system and the ability to apply it with discipline.
Unless you develop it yourself, you won’t confidence to follow it with dsipcline and without discipline, you don’t have a method in the first place.
Currency trading is all about having the right knowledge and the right attitude to apply it.
It’s a fact that everything about forex trading can be learned and anyone can become a successful trader, but 95% don’t for the reasons outlined above – don’t make the same mistake.

Hedging in forex?how i use it.
By: gge2008 | 17-01-2008
Nice article, but no explanation how realy to use hedging in the forex.Is what the broker marks as hedge in his platform realy a hedging or just a way of get rid of your funds more quickly?I only use it when i se atrade is going wrong, instead of be stopped out i wait for the countertrade an hedge any move worthwile against my open position.Close the hedge as soon price resumes his original move from the open position.U get summing profits even when the trade goes the wrong way, till you end up on the support level strong enough to turn arround.There u can hedge then all the moves worth while again going contra your position.This ceep up till make profit with your position, or till you made enough to close bad position.Bit tricky tough and needs a lot of attention.But works, i tried it and with succes.
